Fighting online game cheating with cryptographySteven Davis
How do you fight cheating in online games (everything from poker and other casino games to casual and first person shooters)?
Instead of trying to monitor the game and detect cheaters after the fact, you can actually prevent AND detect many forms of game cheating with cryptography.
This paper describes a suite of cryptographic algorithms you can use to stop many forms of cheating.
The downside (and there always is a downside, isn't there) is that you have to build it into your games. It is a secure foundation on top of which your games are built.

'Playing Around With Risks' by Jurgen CleurenTEST Huddle
I looked at my cards. 2 Aces. The best hand possible to have in poker on an empty board. At this point there is no risk that I can be beaten. I decide to exploit the situation. Get as much value as possible, but not letting my opponents know I have such a good hand. I don’t raise. 3 cards come on the board. I wait. The 4th card comes. I still wait. The fifth and last card comes and I make my move. I put all my money on the line and as it turns out, I got beaten by someone who has made a straight. How is this possible? I had the best hand, I evaluated the risk and still lost. The reason is obvious, the board changed 3 times, and with each extra card, my risk of losing also changed. And I did not adapt. I didn’t re-evaluate my risks and acted accordingly.
There are quite a few games that deal with risks and risk responses. Poker and Monopoly are a few examples. There are world championships held in these games and there is general consensus who are the best players in the world. Those players have game tactics. What if we can map those tactics to Risk Based Testing? Can we improve our process based on those successful game tactics? In this presentation, I will elaborate on a few game tactics and map them on the Risk Based Testing process. I will give concrete examples of similarities between them and demonstrate that they can be adapted to improve our test process.

3. My Background
• Computer Science
• Teach computer game design (video games)
• Head of a problem gambling research team.
Provide factual research-based information
about:
– the design of slot machine games
– the player’s physiological responses
• Have written 5 peer reviewed journal articles
4. • Only researcher to have studied slot machine
game design documents (PAR Sheets). Obtained
through Freedom of Information.
7. How Slots Work
• Controlled by a computer
• Random number generator
generating thousands of
random numbers per
second even when machine
is not being played
8. How Slots Work con’t
• Player inserts money
• Player presses spin
• Random numbers available at that instant are
used to determine the outcome
• Reels spin for 3-6 seconds
• The player then sees the outcome
• Reels are for entertainment only
• There is no skill involved in slot machine play
– The player cannot influence the outcome
9. Slot Machine Outcomes are
Random, but Weighted
• Reels are weighted
• Blanks and low-paying symbols occur more
often than Jackpot symbols
• Randomness and weighting are controlled by
the computer
• Player does not know the weighting
• Weighting gives game designers ability to play
with the odds – and play with the perceived
odds
10. Slot Machines Payback % (Harrigan, 2007)
• Payback Percentage is 90%
• If the reels represented the odds (no
weighting) the payback percentage would be
185% - 297%
• Above the payline: 193% - 496%
• Below the payline: 192% - 485%
11. Awww Shucks Effect (Near Miss/Near Win)
–A failure that is close to a success
–The type below can appear 12 times more
often than by chance alone, on each reel
–Accomplished by weighting the blank on
the 3rd reel to often occur on the payline
12. Near Misses - Research Results
• Research shows that near misses have an
effect on the player (Clark et al, 2009)
– Near Misses enhance motivation to gamble
– Near misses activate areas of the brain associated
with wins, even though it was not a win
– Brain activity correlated with self-reported
measures of gambling propensity
13. The Term “Near Miss”
• Gaming industry and regulators state that near
misses don’t exist. But the type of near miss just
described does exists on most slots.
• Independent Testing Lab: ”I am pleased to report
that the near-miss concept went out with the ‘80s. In
fact, near-miss games simply don’t exist in North
America, period.” (Maida, 1997)
• Regulators: Ontario bans Near Misses in 14.1 and
allows the type of near misses described above in
20.4 (AGCO, 2007)
• Nevada standards don’t mention the type of Near
Miss just described but allows them.
14. Unbalanced Reels
• One reel is starved of the jackpot symbol
• A type of near miss
• See the Jacks in non-winning positions
15. Losses Disguised as Wins
• Depending on the wager, approximately 60%
of “wins” are really losses
• Wager $3,75 and “win” $2.25
– Really a loss of $1.50
– But the slot machine produces winning sounds
and winning graphics
16. Losses Disguised as Wins
• ‘“The perception is that you’re winning all the
time, when you’re really not— you’re putting
25 in and winning 15 back, 45 in and 30 back,
over and over.” Randy Adams of Anchor
Gaming (Schull, 2005)
• “Positive reinforcement hides loss.” Nathan
Leland of Silicon Gaming (Schull, 2005).
18. Faulty Cognitions
• Around 50 per cent of gaming machine gamblers
have false beliefs about how gaming machines
work, which pose risks to them" (APC, 4.1)
• We have just seen four ways in which slot
machines foster faulty cognitions.
– Reel design
– Awww Shucks Effect
– Losses Disguised as wins
– Unbalanced reels
19. Stop Button
• Player can stop the reels before 3-6 seconds
• Doesn’t affect the outcome
• Provides an “illusion of control”
• Giving the player an “illusion of control” gives
a player a sense of control even when the
player fully understands that the outcome is
random (Langer, 1975).
20. Credits vs Currency
• Usually your money is shown as credits
• Ex: A five cent machines pays 150,000 credits
– Not easy to convert to currency
21. Multiple Versions of the Same Game
• Payback percentage is
not disclosed to the
player
• In Ontario, same game
can payout between 85%
to 98%
• All versions look identical
to the player
22. Size of Symbols vs Blanks
• Blanks are smaller but show up on the payline
more often
23. Denomination of the machine
On a “one cent” machine, players can wager $1.80.
24. Inducements for Maximum Wager
• Various messages on the machine
– “Play all 15 lines for maximum excitement”
– “Play three credits”
• Some prizes can only be won with maximum
wager
25. Progressive Jackpots
• On the machine itself
• Wide area – on many machines
• Large prizes
• Often prize cannot be won without “max bet”
26. Continuous Form of Gambling
• One spin every six seconds
• Ten spins per minute
• 600 spins per hour
• 15 line machine equates to 9,000 line wagers
per hour (600x15)
27. Reinforcement Schedule/Churning
• On their way to losing their money, players
have many small wins
• Example:
– Gambler’s Ruin Scenario: Arrive with $100 and
play until broke
– Win $1,250 in small wins, and losses disguised as
wins, on way to going broke
– Total net loss: $100
– Churn: $1,250
28. Conclusion
• Slots deserve their reputation as “the crack
cocaine of gambling”
• 60% of Ontario slot revenue from problem
players
• Ontario slot revenue greater than all other
gambling revenue combined
29.
30. Conclusion
• Game design features contribute to faulty
cognitions and addictiveness:
– Stop button
– Near Misses – “Awww shucks, just missed it”
– Losses disguised as wins
– Unbalanced reels
• Multiple versions of the same game
• Reinforcement schedule – churning
• Currency not displayed
• Inducements for maximum wager
